WASHINGTON (WNS)-A leader of the militant Black United Front, invited by WTOP-TVto present his views a£ a rebuttal to their own editorial comment on hijacking/tore into Israel and denounced it as an "illegal Zionist colony." Abssolom Jordan, head of the BUF-, also praised Libya as the ''last bas'tion of freedom and hope for oppressed and exploited Black political prisoners," and accused' WTOP of being owned by Zionists. The station's editorial office said it surmised Jordan was referring to Daniel Gold, general manager of WTOP-TV, Larry Israel, chairman of the board of the Washington Post-Newsweek stations. WTOP is the Washington affiliate of CBS.
WASHINGTON (WNS)-The State Department has denied that Middle East peace negotiations have'been" delayed and side-tracked because of America's failure, to reach a Vietnam settlement. Department ■ spokesman Charles' Bray said the "international climate" continues to seem "propitious to undertake " diplomatic activity which might lead to an interim ^agreement or more."
LONDON (WNS)-The Board of Deputies of British Jews has agreed to debate at a future meeting the question of anti-Semitism disguised as anti Zionism after Victor Miscon, Board vice-president cautioned "We must not make the mistake of thinking that everyone who supports the Arab cause in the Middle East confrontation is necessarily anti- Semitic." He added that "It is true, however, that a great deal of what is truly anti-Semitic is concealed under the umbrella of anti-Zionism."
Compulsory Chapel Ruled Out At Service Academies
. - The -Supreme Court's .ruling last week upholding a 'lower cpurt decision against ^compulsory chapel at¬ tendance at the nation's '.military service academies was hailed today by the American Jewish Congress as "a significant victory for our country's vital traditions of religious freedom and church-state separation." The Congress, together with 12 other organizations .^comprising the Joint Ad¬ visory Committee of the Synagogue Council of America and the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council, - had filed a friend-of-the- court brief in "Laird Vs. ■ Anderson" in November 1970 when the case came before •the .U,S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. That court ruled earlier mis year that West Point, Annapolis and the Air Force Academy could not con¬ stitutionally compel cadets to attend religious services. _ Today Leo Pfeffer, special
counsel of the Congress who wrote the amicus brief for the .13 Jewish organizations, said the Supreme Court's ruling was "consistent with* American tradition against compulsory, church at¬ tendance, one of the prac¬ tices of establishment which the First Amendment was written to forbid."
In its lower _j court argument supporting compulsory chapel, the Department of Defense, had asserted that chapel at¬ tendance had a secular function in that it was part of the cadets' officer training to observe men at worship*. /~~
In their brief, the 13 Jewish organizations said such military surveillance of religious services had a ."lorigiand ignoble history'* and was repugnant to the JewiShtommunity. Q

Calls For U.S. Action To Protect Citizens From Terrorism In View Of U.N. Failure To Act
Nfew YORK. - The U.S. must take "unilateral action to protect our own citizens" in view of the failure of ihe United Nations to approve strong international legal action on . terrorism, Representative Herman Badillo (D-Bronx) told the American Jewish Congress this week.
Rep. Badillo said he favored legislation that would close American air¬ ports to any foreign airline operating in any country which refuses to prosecute or extradite skyjackers.
Rep. Badillo declared: "I have joined with Rep. Ogden Reid (D-West.) in co- sponsoring this practical solution to the protection of
the rights and lives of U.S. citizens from terrorist air piracy.!'
The former Bronx borough president said he would also introduce a bill cutting off U.S. military and economic aid to countries supporting terrorist groups.
Mr. Badillo said' the resolution passed Dec. 11 by the U.N. Legal Committee, which focuses on the alleged root causes of terrorism, was tantamount to "ignoring the criminal and his victim while studying the sociological causes of crime.
"I know of no civilized society that dispenses with pojjcemen, * Mr. Badillo asserted.
Purchases First Newsie Paper
His call for* strong unilateral action was echoed by Phil Baum, associate, executive director of the American Jewish Congress, who said the "hopeless in¬ capacity" of the U.N. to act against, terrorism was demonstrated by the U.N. Legal Committee vote.
"The U.N. can and will do ' nothirig.-^and if we are to project ourselves against random political violence, we had'better accept that hard fact and look elsewhere," Mr. Baum declared, adding:
"One way to deter, if not eliminate, .political terrorism would be to cut off from services any country that continues to give sup¬ port or sanctuary to ■terrorism or terrorist organizations."
He urged the U.S. government to "adopt legislation authorizing unilateral withholding of programs of economic assistance, as. well as other privileges and benefits, to those states that endorse or harbor terrorist -groups,*' and called on airline managements, pilots and other elements . of the business community to isolate, such nations.
Capt. John Ferguson, representing the Air Line Pilots Association, told the meeting of the American Jewish Congress' Metropolitan Council Committee on International Affairs that continued acts of air terrorism could be traced to, "the greed and im¬ maturity of pilots, airline
For the past several years, Norman Gurevitz had

Well, it became a reality on Thursday night, Dec, 14 at
the Neil House, where/the Newsies held their Pep
Dinner. Alan Schultz, manager of Norman's on East
Gay St., was on hand at the Neil House and made a ■ successful bid for the first copy of the paper. It went for

"Some pilots oppose work stoppages because they don't want to lose money, ana the ..U.S. Government and the airline companies don't want to spend the necessary 'money for security.".
Capt. Ferguson called on the government' to assume r"" the cost of electronic gear and armed guards he said were needed to prevent air hijackings.
"We're in a war with the criminal elements," the pilots' spokesman said, calling it "a function of government and not business to take over - law en¬ forcement.".
He also blamed the "immaturity" of the emerging nations for allowing the hijackings to continue. "They won't give up any of their sovereignty to sigh a treaty," he declared.
Capt. Ferguson noted that at a recent meeting'of the board of the Air Line Pilots Association, a resolution was adopted committing the organization to a program designed to eliminate terrorist sanctuaries throughout the world • by suspending air services' to "any nation that blatantly encourages, provides 'sanc¬ tuaries to, or refuses to severely punish air pirates."
The resolution also* put "the nations of the world, including our own, on notice that any further crimes of air piracy may be met with total cessation of airline service." ■«
